Heading to the pool, beach, or lake can be a wonderful form of exercise and can help your pet cool off on a hot day. However, itâs important to be mindful of water safety for your pet to ensure your trip to the water doesnât result in a trip to the ER.
A few helpful pointers when introducing your pet to water include:
đ§Pick a shallow spot to start out and stay at the edge of the water.
đ§Donât force them in. Throwing a pet in the water who doesnât want to swim can be traumatic for them.
đ§Get in the water with them. When they start paddling with their front paws, lift their hind end so they understand how to float.

Lily Toxicity in Cats
Lily toxicity is more common in warmer months, particularly for cats. Some types of lilies will cause local irritation to the mouth while others can cause kidney failure.
If your cat has eaten a lily, take them and the plant to your veterinarian, or a pet ER like MedVet, to help determine the best course of action and start immediate treatment if needed.
